    I think that I may have to have a TA. I have a lovely pink sparkly nv from no7 but it isn't applying well at the moment. I'll give it a couple more tries and then it's a goner.
    Am off shopping with DD tomorrow for some girlie time so there may be some ins. Really I only need shampoo this month unless DD decides that she wants some conditioner.
    Look forward to catching up with all the gossip soon :)
    Nice to see you back Jacks_xx

    I've only told one person about this challenge & he was very sweet/encouraging about it. :) My OH would not understand...

    I have a difficult to reach box of unlisted things still under my bed. I'm building up the courage to complete my stash list. :o
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Mine thinks I am anyway! He was looking at me last night as I was searching through a huge bag for some hand cream. 'How many products does one person need?' asks the bold boy. Ha! He doesnt know the half of it.

    We had a discussion about Easter and not buying Easter Eggs. I was about to suggest he could buy me something nice from L'Occitane, but I bit my tongue. I really dont need anything else!

    Hi ladies,

    Being a newbie, I'm not sure if I should be posting a list of toiletries? And make up?

    I'm determined to be good (or to at least try!) :)

    :D my OH knows full well just how many toiletries I have, and to be fair to him he doesn't comment on it much! But if I sit on the bathroom floor and start listing it all he really will think I've lost the plot! :rotfl:

    Ooh, pink angel, sorry, I quoted you then forgot I had! I was going to say that I find it good to do a list so I can see just how bad the problem is - discourages me from buying more for a while - plus I stumble across items I forgot I have and can get quite excited about using!

    An out!

    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm- WNBA- expensive and no better than vaseline. There was also a load of it left in the applicator and that really grinds my gears!

    finally uu the free permanent hair colour that arrived too late to use for a survey(feria i think)was okay but tend to prefer non perm ones as they don't smell so strong and actually seem to improve the condition more.I now wash them off in the shower after many years of struggling in the sink....so much easier even tho looks like a scene from Psycho for a while:eek::eek::eek::eek:
    been using a sample clarins serum,a double one where two nozzles are supposed to come out with equal amounts of stuff but one kept giving more so not sure how good it is,was a GWP so probably would not buy(esp as tons of serums in stash)using up young free and sexy(if only...not the free bit tho)perfume from YSL as want to use my new Ma Griffe instead.
    did anyone notice the half price perfumes email yesterday,from 9 till 12 on the 1st of April you could get to smell the perfumes on sale using nanascent by rubbing the picture on your screen:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    DH away again so may do toe nails a new colour tonight...would black look too somber?,was going to do hands but broke two nails at weekend.
  • First OUT for April - Lush American Cream conditioner. WBA as it smells nice and is effective at keeping my hair soft without weighing it down too much. Plus it's my first OUT in aaaages that I haven't had to replace! :)

    Hi PinkAngel and all the other newbies!!

    A lot of us have made stash lists just so we know how bad the problem is! It's only when you drag everything out of all the stash hiding places and write it all down that you realise just how many products you have (43 shower gels in my case :eek:)

    And if you do make a stash list we would love you to post it on here so we can all have a good nosey :D
    We love a stash list we do!

    Pink-Angel
    As mad_scientist says: we definitely love a good stash list!

    I need to do an updated Stash List.

    If anyone's issue is make up, and you're scared to post a stash list because you seem to have insane amounts of it - my list will make you feel better. (or in good company at least!)

    I've managed to do my feet twice today lol. That doesnt happen very often. I try to do my hands every time I wash them.

    I do like S&G hand food. How long does it keep before it goes off? Any idea?

    I have 2 unused tubes of the S&G Hand Food and both smell awful. I think they must only last about a year, so I use them on my feet. WNBA as I have lots of S&G still to use and think I have sickened myself with it! :o

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
